Character versus personality to support a cause that matters

I am still pumped up by the fundraiser we did for the Avalon Walk to support the research against Breast Cancer. A limited attendance i have to say but a quality one...Not the best equation for a successful fundraiser...hosted by my dear friend Rahul M from the 911 call center of San Jose...I remember him saying " Many people said they will come..." and i replied welcome to my world! People will say I will be there, as a matter of fact, they mean: I am there already...Life however comes in the way, schedules, errands, tardiness, sense of priority...imagine if everybody did what they said they would...Here kicks Character versus personality: A lot of people have great personalities: friendly, sweet, funny, compassionate (Pretty much qualities people can use to refer to one's person ability to interact and relate with others), Character is much harder as it is when you do what you do when nobody is watching: character is that person you see in the mirror that knows you more than you know yourself....
So to the ones that say i will be there, i say, i can't wait!!!
Big cheer still to the fire fighters, our friends from the 911 San Jose call center that hosted the event, they really made the day of this birthday party who jumped on a firefighter who came inside the restaurant!!!
Is the fantasy coming from a man who puts his life on the line to help others or the simple outfit?
